Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina

This hotel was very attractive on the ground floor. Although it wasn’t quite located where I expected it was in a lovely area close to good restaurants. The decor was fantastic in the foyer, very contemporary and quirky and the bar area was fantastic with great food and atmosphere. The bedroom was a bit disappointing, oddly furnished with a glass bathroom. Soundproofing not great, particularly from the outside. On the whole though a nice hotel.

first i will start with the positive: the location is excellent, close to restaurants, pub brewery, the old harbor and many more things, the staff are excellent and friendly, and the public area is very atmospheric and comfortable, the problems are with the rooms, the room was small and we knew it, but there are design faults, like: the radiator is very close the bed, and the adjustment knob is sideways and not up, and it is very easy to injured yourself with it at night, the bathroom door is sliding door and made of glass and there is a gap when you close it, so if some one is going to the toilet at night the all room is light up, and not talking about the smell, other problem that we had was that we lost a lot TV channels did not work after first day, included BBC news, and they could not fix it, and we been offered to switch rooms only the night before the departure we were worried when we saw earplugs next to the bed, and overnight we head a lot traffic noise ( need to have double glazing ) fix those design problems and we will give it 5 stars

The only down side I can say about this hotel is it's location and parking. They don't have on site parking and when you drive into town it is VERY difficult to find where to park and enter the hotel. It's actually down a laneway (no entrance from the main road) There IS free parking a bit further down but it's rather difficult to get your luggage form the car to the hotel and back again when leaving. Other than that the rooms are nice, clean and comfortable. The staff are friendly and most helpful and the breakfast room is bright and cheery with a good food choice. It's a comfortable walk into the main shopping area of the city and several good restaurants near by.
